Abstract
Among the main benefits of service-oriented architectures is the reutilization of software components that may solve specific tasks for complex problems, requiring the composition of multiple Web services. Currently Internet is largely populated with Web services offered by different providers and published in various Web repositories. However, public available Web services still suffer from problems that have been widely discussed, such as the lack of functional semantics. This lack of semantics makes very difficult the automatic discovery and invocation of public Web services, even when the system integrator can obtain a copy of the WSDL file. This paper describes an ontological model representation of public Web service descriptions. The objective of this work is to automatically parse public Web service descriptions and represent extracted data into ontological representations. Experimental results show that the overall process towards the automation of public Web services discovery based on ontology population is feasible and can be completely automated.
